Miradry and sweaty palms: I have sweaty palms. When will Miradry be coming out with treatment for sweaty palms?

Question

Is the study still underway? How long is the treatment usually and is it permanent or does it require follow up sessions? Thanks

Hi julienltd

miraDry is a non-surgical treatment to reduce hyperhydrosis  or excessive underarm sweating. miraDry uses technologically advanced microwave energy to target overactive sweat and odor glands.  These glands are eliminated…. permanently. You can see results in as little as one treatment.However, as with any aesthetic treatment, your physician will determine the best protocol for your desired results. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Miradry is only FDA approved for underarm sweating.  There are studies in progress for use on the palms but no definite dates of when that may be available as of yet.  When the procedure is performed for underarm sweating ,there is an 82% reduction of sweating as well as odor and it is a one time procedure in most cases.   Hope this information is helpful to you.

Hello and thank you for your question! Currently, miraDry is only FDA approved for underarm sweating. miraDry will help to permanently stop underarm sweat, hair and odor in as little as one treatment. Currently at our practice, we offer botox treatments for palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty palms). This will help to reduce temporarily stop the sweating; however, retreatment will be required every 4 months. Best of luck!
